We’ve rarely met a body of water we didn’t want to dip our toes into—but not before snapping a photo of how clearly you can see our bright-red toenail polish through the ripples. Luckily, when you’re in paradise, these opportunities come up constantly. We’ve partnered with the Jamaica Tourist Board to show you six of the island’s most Instagrammable spots—all guaranteed to add that certain shade of aqua your feed has been missing.
Rockhouse Hotel
This resortin Negril’s West End is built on the edge of limestone cliffs overlooking the sea and is replete with staircases leading right down to the water. The villas are made of timber, stone and thatched roof—aka the perfect materials for an amazing Swiss Family Robinson Insta. Oh, and did we mention the outdoor showers?Swoon.
Paradise Beach
Also known asSeven Mile Beach, this is a breathtaking stretch of coastline with crystal-clear waters. Depending on where you position yourself, you can relax on the sand within earshot of local Jamaican music, a stone’s throw from plenty of good food stands and shouting distance from your next most-liked’gram.
